She was the price of a debt. He was the devil collecting it. Sofia Murphy lives in a world of color and quiet-a life spent painting soft dreams and hiding from sharp truths. But when her father signs her away to settle a blood debt, she's thrust into the arms of a monster wrapped in a tailored suit. Alessandro Lombardi is a king among criminals. Feared. Worshipped. Deadlier than the sins that built his empire. He doesn't ask for a wife. He takes one. In his world, vows are shackles. Kisses are claims. And love? Love is just another weapon. Sofia is everything he's not-sweet, untouched, innocent, a light he was never meant to hold. But now that he has her, he won't let go. Not when she trembles under his touch. Not when she flinches at his darkness. Not even if she wants to run. Because Alessandro doesn't chase. He hunts. He craves her obedience. Worships her purity. And if she ever thinks of running? He'll track her down with a smile, chain her to his bed, and remind her-slowly, ruthlessly-who owns her body. And who owns her soul. He didn't just marry her. He branded her. And in this house? There's no escape. Only surrender. And if the world dares come between them? He'll burn it to the ground-just to watch her smile in the ashes.

A SEQUEL TO CLAIMED BY THE RULER OF THE WORLD. They say time heals all wounds. They're wrong. Six years ago, Star Rossini, a nobody who dared to love a king and paid the price for that audacity. The woman whose heart shattered into a million pieces in a hospital corridor, listening to the man she loved declare her better off dead. Now, she's Princess Astrid of Valdris, and she has learned that the world doesn't respect the broken. It only respects power. She stands in her palace office, watching her six-year-old son analyze stock reports with the same sharp intelligence his father possesses. Al doesn't know that the man he idolizes, the business genius he studies obsessively, is the same man who said those words about his mother. The same man who believes we're both dead. In three weeks, she will walk into the Geneva Summit as one of Europe's most powerful business leaders. She'll be surrounded by wealth, respect, and the armor she've built from six years of survival. And Dante Rossini will be there too. He thinks he's untouchable. He thinks he's built an empire on ruthlessness and cold calculation. He thinks he destroyed her six years ago. He's about to learn how wrong he is. Because the woman he knew is dead. And in her place stands a princess who bows to no one, not even the man who once ruled her world. The reckoning is coming. And this time, she's the one in control. ---------------- #1 in businessworld. 30/10/25 #1 in heir. 11/01/26 #1 in genius. 25/12/25 #2 in Love. 22/12/25

*HE BOUGHT ME FOR ONE NIGHT... NOW HE OWNS MY HEART 💔👑* *What would you do if your one-night stand turned out to be a BILLIONAIRE... and the father of your baby?* --- "What is that?" "Your future." He opened the box, revealing a diamond that caught the light and threw it back in brilliant, cold sparks. "We're getting married." "We're what?" Star's voice cracked. "Are you insane?" "I'm practical. You're pregnant with my child. In my world, that means marriage." "In my world, that means two people who barely know each other shouldn't make life-altering decisions based on one night." "Your world is over." The words were delivered with such calm finality that Star felt the floor shift beneath her feet. "The moment you got pregnant, you entered mine. And in my world, I protect what's mine." "I'm not yours." "The baby is." He picked up a thick document from his desk. "Marriage contract. Very generous terms. You'll have everything you need, house, security, unlimited credit. The child will bear my name and receive my protection." Star stared at the contract, the words blurring as tears she refused to shed burned her eyes. "And what do you get?" "A wife who understands her place. A child raised properly. No custody battles, no media circuses, no complications." "And love?" Something in his expression hardened even further. "Love is a luxury neither of us can afford. This is about security, stability, and giving our child the best possible life. _________________ MOST IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS🏅 #1 in Steamy 10/11/25 #1 in Emotion 19/10/25 #1 in Triangle 11/11/25 #1 in Contract 06/10/25 #2 in Pregnancy 2/10/25 #1 in Mafia. 10/01/26 #1 in Jealous. 19/02/26 READ TO FIND OUT! 💕 New chapters every week!

But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul.
